As promised, here’s a quick sneak peek at some of the art from the parody of “DOG the Bounty Hunter” in this month’s MAD:

A few panels from the parody…

Surprisingly I rather enjoyed the show itself. You have to admire a man who places so much emphasis on his family and God as “Dog” does… even if the people he’s chasing are about as dangerous as your average librarian. TV also works magic on making someone look bigger than life… DOG looks like a massive guy but according to his rap sheet, he’s a towering 5 foot six inches tall.

In one drawing, you have different visual jokes—the bat sandwich, the Acme boxing glove gun, the methheads sign, Where’s Waldo, etc. Are all these jokes things you come up with on your own on the fly, or does the writer leave you notes with the dialogue. And if you come up with these on your own, then shouldn’t you be paid twice–as an artist and as a writer?
